re: #547 sizzleRI

I am not sure how the military has got away with formalized discrimination all these years in the first place. It is astonishing that legislation is needed to end something I was pretty sure was already an illegal policy. Compliance with non-discrimination laws should be a given, and if I were POTUS, I would simply issue an Executive Order requiring that the military comply with all applicable non-discrimination provisions. If the military leadership asked for an exemption for front line units or special forces subject to further review (on a deadline), I would grant that. Otherwise, this is just a typical political football clusterfuck much the same as equal marriage rights.
